in response to his attempt to meddle in her case and force her to release the prosecution’s documents. She did not mince words: “There is no justification in the Constitution for Congress to interfere with a state criminal matter, as you attempt to do.” She retorted, “The demands in your letter — and your efforts at intruding upon the State of Georgia’s criminal authority — violate constitutional principles of federalism.
Her letter deserves more attention. It serves as an effective takedown of many of Trump’s phony excuses and defenses. “The criminal defendant about which you express concern was fully aware of the existence of the criminal investigation being conducted by the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office at the time he announced his candidacy for President,” she reminded Jordan. “I have no doubt that many Americans are the subject of criminal investigations and prosecutions at any given moment.
That said, Willis knew the pitfalls and risks going in. She nevertheless moved expeditiously, did not bring the case before she was ready and now might have the distinction of holding the first trial in the phony elector scheme. Moreover, in a proceeding that will be televised, she has the unique opportunity to teach Americans a thing or two about the justice system and the overwhelming evidence of a failed coup that Republicans still defend.
